## INI Settings

### General INI Settings (Independent of Communications Method)

The following entries should be made to the [Option] and [Valisys] sections of the INI file regardless of the communication method being used. Keep in mind that if this is the first time Valisys mode has been enabled on this system the [Valisys] section will not be present until you add it manually.

[Option]
ValisysErrorDelay=1000
CreateValisysProbeFile=1

[Valisys]
ValisysUseCheckSum=0

#### INI Settings When Using TCP/IP Communications

The following entry should be made to the [Valisys] section if and only if TCP/IP is being used for the Valisys communications. If TCP/IP is not being used the entry should not exist at all.

[Valisys]
ValisysTCPIPPort=5440

When TCP/IP is being used, there should not be an entry for ValisysCommPort.

The IP port number was shown (5440) is for reference only. Other port numbers may be used. In general, the limitations are that it should be >5000, it cannot already be in use by another network application on the system, and the Valisys host must be configured to use the same port number. The most important thing is that whatever port number is selected – both PC-DMIS and the Valisys host must be configured to use that port number.

#### INI Settings When Using Serial Communications

The following entry should be made to the [Valisys] section if and only if a serial port is being used for the Valisys communications. If a serial port is not being used the entry should not exist at all. When a serial port is being used, there should not be an entry for ValisysTCPIPPort.

[Valisys]
ValisysCommPort=2

When a serial port is being used, there should not be an entry for ValisysTCPIPPort.

Only the comm port number can be specified. Use 1 for COM1, 2 for COM2, etc. The protocol for the port will automatically be set to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. The Valisys host must be configured to use the same settings protocol settings.
